Greetings and salutations!
This is a transcription of Soundgarden's Fresh Deadly Roses. Its only
available on some import my DJ roommate in college had, but it's a very
cool song if you can find it (Ultramega OK??? I'm not sure). Very simple
guitar, but very cool. The intro and verse are played with a bright, half-
distorted guitar sound, letting the chords and intervals ring.
Slides and hammerons are denoted by the underscores between notes on the
TAB (a la ---9_10---- ).
Intro and verse:

Kim goes through that pattern a few times, and before the chorus he changes
into this nifty little atonal type thing:

The chorus is played with the Seattle super grunge mud-o-riffic beef sound.

This verse-chorus sequence is repeated twice. Then they go into the bridge,
once again in that super-thud distortiom. It's just chords, here's the chart.

Hope you can find this song, or someone can turn you on to it. It's a grunge
classic.
Scare the neighbors,
